How high is the success rate of IVF
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology, which provides a reproductive option for couples who cannot conceive naturally due to physiological or other reasons. However, the success rate of IVF is related to different factors. The following will discuss the success rate of IVF from four aspects: embryo quality, age, hospital and other related factors.
Embryo quality
Embryo quality is one of the important factors affecting the success rate of IVF. In the process of IVF, the doctor will combine the eggs and sperm taken from the couple, cultivate the embryo, and then transfer the embryo to the female uterus. The quality of embryo directly affects its ability of implantation and development. High quality embryos can increase the success rate of IVF. Some hospitals use advanced embryo screening technologies, such as gene testing, to screen high-quality embryos and further improve the success rate of IVF.
In addition, the number of embryos during embryo transfer also affects the success rate. Traditionally, doctors transplant multiple embryos into the uterus to increase the probability of pregnancy. However, with the improvement of embryo quality and the progress of transfer technology, more and more hospitals begin to promote single embryo transfer to avoid multiple pregnancies and related health risks. Although the success rate of single embryo transfer is relatively low, it can reduce the risk of multiple pregnancy, and it is a more appropriate choice for some couples with special needs.
Age
The age of women is also one of the important factors affecting the success rate of IVF. Generally speaking, the fertility of women begins to decline gradually after the age of 35. With the increase of age, the number and quality of female eggs will decrease, increasing the difficulty of IVF success. Therefore, young couples usually have a higher success rate of IVF.
For older couples, they may need more attempts to conceive successfully. Some hospitals may suggest that older couples consider using donated eggs or sperm to improve their chances of success. This is because donated eggs and sperm are usually from younger donors, which are of better quality and easier to conceive.
hospital
Choosing a hospital with good reputation and rich experience is the key to improve the success rate of IVF. A hospital specializing in assisted reproductive technology usually has advanced equipment and technology and can provide high-level medical services. In addition, the team experience of the hospital is also very important. They have rich experience in handling different cases and can provide personalized diagnosis and treatment programs.
In China, for example, some top hospitals such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University have domestically leading IVF technology and equipment. In these hospitals, IVF procedures have a higher success rate.
Other relevant factors
In addition to embryo quality, age and hospital factors, the success rate of IVF is also affected by other related factors. For example, the health status of the couple, the patient's reproductive history, potential diseases and genetic factors may all have an impact on the success rate of IVF.
In addition, personal lifestyle may also affect the success rate of IVF. Bad living habits, such as smoking, excessive drinking and irregular diet, may reduce the success rate of IVF. Therefore, couples should try to adopt a healthy lifestyle before IVF in order to improve their chances of success.
summary
The success rate of IVF is affected by embryo quality, age, hospital and other related factors. The success rate of IVF can be improved by selecting high-quality embryos, conducting IVF as soon as possible, selecting excellent hospitals, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. If we can comprehensively consider the above factors and choose the most suitable method according to our own actual situation, the success rate of IVF will be higher.
